Even way back in the mid 80's (when I first came to Canada), Vancouver Specials were practically mortgage helper-ready, with the ground and top floor being separated by simply closing a door.
The renovation ended up taking out the suite downstairs as they reversed the layout of the house - bedrooms are downstairs and upstairs is the living space with an office and spare room. It was a big renovation - several walls taken out or moved, all plumbing & electrical redone and pretty nice stuff used throughout.

We could use a modern day Van Special - the new 4plex zoning could result in stacked houses where each floor is an entire unit (more or less).
